Word that the 2025 Chevy Blazer EV will serve as the pace car for this year’s Daytona 500 may give traditionalists pause for several reasons. Chevrolet, on the other hand, is delighted with the opportunity. The high-profile role lets the brand showcase its all-electric crossover before a massive racing audience.
Adding to Chevrolet’s excitement is the fact that this Blazer EV SS ranks as the quickest SS-badged model the company has ever produced. Pacing one of motorsport’s premier events provides an ideal stage to highlight both the vehicle and its performance credentials. Whether or not purists embrace the choice, the moment marks a notable step in the electrification of even the most storied racing traditions.
